Chapter 133 Shanxi
Jin Batian squinted his eyes and looked ahead. The instructor who was still on the left and right just now drank water and left a group of people waiting to stand in a military position here. I don’t know if he was really dizzy and was receiving military training here on a hot day. When I woke up in the morning, I touched my head and was really dizzy.
On the first day of the recruits, they naturally practice exercises - there is a particular point here. Although people don’t queuing and shooting now, practicing exercises can cultivate discipline.
If the arm makes the command line prohibited, this is the favorite state of a commander of a unit. Each command is like the command of his own arm, and the troops will advance or retreat only when they hear the order. The ultimate purpose of all training and doctrines is to build an army that retains combat skills without emotion, of course this is the most ideal situation.
The training here is very hard, but the morale can be maintained because the food here is very good - this is just compared to other troops, there are snow-white steamed buns, millet porridge, and shredded pickles in the morning. At noon, the rice is open, and you can see two finger-wide pork belly in the big pot dish. Jin Batian, who was not full for two meals, can imagine that Jin Batian's purpose of coming here was not pure, and it would be strange if he could eat it on the first day.
I practiced the train for a while in the afternoon, and before dinner, I fired the guns off - only firearms were fired.
The squad leader of the team led by Jin Batian said: "Guns are the lives of soldiers. You must protect them. Today, you can learn how to disassemble and assemble the gun. Let's see how I do it first."
The squad leader used a speed that everyone could understand to break down his mid-stage rifle into parts, wiped it clean and assembled it together. After packing it up, the squad leader said, "You guys start."
When the tax police regiment recruits soldiers, they naturally don’t have to worry about soldiers. Those particularly stupid ones were eliminated in the first round, and these new recruits were all energetic even if they didn’t recognize a few words.
This gun was designed by Jin Batian, so it was naturally the first to be disassembled and assembled. The reward from the squad leader is: "Come again."
After dinner, he started to study internal affairs and regulations again. On that day, Jin Batian slept with a rifle in his arms.
Shooting was added during the training the next day, and Jin Batian easily won the 200-meter lie-off five-shot rapid-fire 42 rings. Jin Batian thought he was just a pretty good match, but for the recruits who were still sending bullets to the sky, being able to get on the target was a great result. Even the squad leader in charge of the training glanced at Jin Batian and officially sent the sniper type in each class to Jin Batian for use according to the regulations.
In the following days, physical fitness, civil engineering homework, team tactics, and grenade throwing were also added to the training one by one. Only the thorn training went through the scene, and then each of them fired a nine-mm box cannon to practice flip and shoot 90 degrees - it is worthy of being the world's most wealthy army.
After ten days, Jin Batian's appearance was completely renewed, and the general's belly and double chin disappeared. Although he had not seen six abdominal muscles, he thought it would be a matter of time before he could hold on. In order to maintain a good figure, when he was transferred back to the Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking on the last day, Jin Batian proposed to go to Shanxi with the troops to take a look.
Minister Song was also hesitant: "It's not impossible for you to go to Shanxi, but no one will preside over the arms transaction here."
"Don't worry, minister, the arms transaction will not be terminated." After repeated assurances, Jin Batian got the opportunity to go to Shanxi. Of course, for safety, Jin Batian's artillery battalion with less than 400 people also had to bring it with him. However, this artillery battalion is now commanded by Valme and Melia, and Jin Batian is responsible for finding targets for the artillery battalion on the front line. If it weren't for the heavy mortar equipped by the artillery battalion, at least two people would have operated, and the artillery battalion would have been one by one.
At this time, the situation changed, Yan Xishan's desire for reinforcements was already hopeless. The Japanese base camp was set up in Hohhot, and the distance between Hohhot and Baotou and Datong was similar. If it weren't for the mountains and rivers in Shanxi, the mountains were too difficult to move, and the Japanese who were ambushed would hit Baotou again. Yan Xishan asked himself that if the Japanese jumped and beat Datong first, they would probably have lost Datong. After the Japanese conducted a series of tests on the Jinsui Army on the east road, they gradually exposed the old background of the Jinsui Army.
Recently, the Jinsui Army's life has become increasingly difficult. The Yellow River natural barrier in the west of the border with Shaanxi has been confirmed by Yang Hucheng's army that it is not safe. The Japanese in the north can even send their troops to the army at any time without even having to overcome any natural barriers. With the Jinsui Army's series of actions, the Japanese also judged that there should be no national defense line fortifications similar to Rehe in Shanxi and gradually let go of their hands in Shanxi.
Yan Xishan was surprised to hear that after Baotou Hohhot fell, his first move was to mobilize troops northward, transfer the troops from eastern and southern Shanxi to northwestern Shanxi, and formed a defensive belt. Yan Laoxi's second move was to recruit troops, adding second-line troops from security teams, security groups and other second-line troops from various places in Shanxi, and recruiting strong men in various places. The combat effectiveness is hard to say, but now Yan Xishan has more than 100,000 troops under his command. As for the recruited strong men, in addition to training, they mainly do some transportation work. Although there are several railways in Shanxi, there are still many places without railways. The troops in these places need more than three times the strong men to transport materials to them.
Jin Batian took the train to Datong, Shanxi with the reorganized 100 division or the supplementary group of the Tax Police Corps.
The Shanxi-Suizhou Army was indeed shocked by the appearance of this army. They fired five new guns in a row, and each of them rang twenty times on their waists. The four bullet bags on their waists were full.
The Jinsui Army also had the fifth-shot rifle. In addition to the small part I bought, the Taiyuan Arsenal also copied some of the fifth-shot rifles to the troops. It was just that the number of manufactured was not large, and only a small number of elite troops were equipped with such guns. Most of the Jinsui Army still used the Type 79 or Type 65 produced by the Taiyuan Arsenal. Because Shanxi could not manufacture optical scope lenses, the sniper type was only the ones purchased back then, and they were placed in Taiyuan together with the anti-aircraft guns to protect the safety of Taiyuan and Chief Yan.
As for box cannons, the Shanxi and Sui army used Taiyuan specialty - Yan Laoxi sincerely recommended the 11.43mm ten-round large-eye box, which was only worn at the level of the lieutenant of the Shanxi and Sui army. Yan Laoxi was not a random change in the caliber. There is a reason why they used 0.45-inch pistol bullets, because the Thompson submachine gun imitated by the Taiyuan Arsenal was 0.45-inch, which was also to unify the caliber of the pistol bullet. And as bullets, the larger the caliber, the better the stopping effect. The 11.43-mm bullet stopping effect is definitely stronger than the 9-mm bullet.
However, the Taiyuan Arsenal only produces 0.45-inch pistol bullets in China, so Yan Xishan will give you this Thompson machine gun to everyone. The bullets are finished. Dear, in order to prevent your beloved portable machine gun from becoming scrap iron, come to Taiyuan to spend money to buy bullets. Remember to comment well.
